March 20183/12/2018 Case 1: Do you believe that the defendant was easily influenced by her friends? How was the case affected when we found out she has O.D.D?
Case 2: Do you believe that the defendant was telling the truth? If we were able to see the video, how would that change the jury's verdict?

Case 1- I believe she was not influenced by her friends because she said that she was the one who had the idea to steal. The case was affected when we found out she had O.D.D. because it’s the fact of feeling sympathy for her, that she didn’t have full control over what she was doing. It may not have been her fault that she was doing these things so, the verdict was light on her because she

1. Yes this defendant was very influenced by freinds and family this case when the family was there it almost seemed scripted. But through questioning we found out her and her bug group of friends almsot act as a gang and are heavily influenced about eachother. When she said she has ODD that shouldn’t give her a free pass if someone is being defiant and does not respect authority thats shit bad and should have consequences still for there punishment

Question 1- Yes I believe that she was heavily influenced by her friends on many levels considering she was brutally honest and gave us a lot of information that her friends were always there when she was either smoking or stealing from retail stores But she also said that it was her idea and her decision which is also correct but there’s always the factor of peer Pressue and she seemed easily persuaded The factor of her having O.D.D did affect the case because it is a defiance disorder and because of this she didn’t exactly have full control over herself And family problems and Her mental state was not At it’s best so jurys verdict was light on her considering her cirsumstances

Case 1: I feel like she wasn’t influenced by her friends. She made her own choices. I think when we found out about her O.D.D, we were now aware that she wasn’t completely in charge of her kind due to the disorder. We had to see that as influence as well.

Case 1:I feel that the defendant was influenced by her friends. Although she states that it was her idea her friends may still have played a role of either peer pressuring her or her trying to show to them she is tough. The case was affected when we found out she has O.D.D because in this situation she had no control over her actions.

Case 1: I believe the defendant was easily influenced by her friends but became to the point where it was her own decisions and was convinced it was for her own benefit such as when he claimed smoking marijuana made her feel more like “herself”

Q1: I believe that the defendant is not easily persuaded by her friends. The defendant seems like an independent person. If anything she persuades her friends to do actions. The O.D.D in the case was controversial. In any regular case of petty theft the defendant would receive many hours of community hours. In the case she has a disorder that does not allow her to listen to authority. So the case turned it helping her with her disorder instead of being a regular petty theft .

Q1: The defendant could have been easily influenced by her friends, but she told us that it was her idea to steal the items. When we found out she had O.D.D. it affected the case because we gave her less of a punishment. The judge did not want to set her up to fail with the drug test and have it be on her permanent record because of something she can't control. He wanted her to do counseling better so it can help her.

1. I believe she wasn’t influenced by her friends because of her honesty and how she said she came up with the idea. The case was affected because it gave reason to suspect that she wasn’t really in control of her actions.

1. I don’t believe her friends influenced her actions because the defendant stated herself that she was the one who had the idea to steal. I believe her ODD did play a part into her crime because she, in a sense, didn’t have full control on her actions. The fact that she was high during the steal also adds on to it.

I feel like she was influenced by friends with what she was doing . She said that her friends did it so she did , then later in the case she said that no one told to do it . When she said that her friends were smoking weed , she saw and wanted to try it because her friends were doing . The case was affected by her ODD by how everything she was doing and not listening to her mom .

1.Yes I do believe that the defendant was heavily influenced by her friends in that when the jury asked her questions she was very honest which made it very easy. The fact that she had oppositional defiant disorder which is a psychological disorder which she has no control over. It was great to see that the sentencing was not harsh because of her circumstances.

Case 1: I believe the defendant was influenced by her friends because they said they feel like getting high helps them less conscious of others opinions of herself. The case was affected by the information of the defendant having ODD because then it had to be taken into consideration of what the defendant was thinking and for why she had intent to steal. The reasoning behind her actions had a some what answer after the ODD was brought up.

Case 1: I do feel that the defendant was rather influencing her friends rather than them influencing her. Her personality seemed very dominant and it did not seem as if she was one to listen to what others had to say to her. When it was revealed that she had O.D.D, the case changed to a lighter sentence they would have given if she had not had this illness.

Case 1- I believe she wasn’t influenced by her friends because she admitted that it was her idea to steal in the first place, it was her being responsible for the idea to steal while she was using drugs but I think she has learned her lesson.

Q1: I believe that the defendant was not influenced by her friends because she was very upfront about being guilty of the crime and telling the jury that it was her idea to steal. After she was diagnosed I believed it allowed the jury to gain insight as to why she acted the way to did. It showed the jury that her actions were unconsciously made and that because of this disorder it makes it hard for her to recognize her wrong doings.

I think the defendant was not influenced by her friends due to the fact that it wasnt the first time she’s stolen; she stole five times before she got caught.When the jury as well as the audience found out she had ODD, it can be said that there was an understanding on why she had trouble answering the question throughout the case. It can be said that she might have liked having the atttention as welll as stealing itself

I believe she was not telling the truth because she kept changing her stories many times and it seemed that her uncle and her dad were feeing information into her. If we would of got the video it would possibly changed the jury’s verdict because it gives a full view of what actually happened and they could see if she was actually telling the truth.

I don’t really think the defendant was Influenced by her friends , because she even said she decided to steal , and I think people have her sympathy once they found out she has ODD

The defendant showed no sign of lying to the jury and when we found out that she had O.D.D it changed the view of the court scene by many ways like changing her punishment and treating her differently due to her being honest with the jury.

Q1: I believe the defendant was influenced by her friends because she seemed to always hang out with her clique and most of the times friends influence you heavily.Also she had ODD which affected the case because it is a defiance disorder.

Yes I believe the defendant was easily influenced because she did not have to jump in she was not forced at any time. The fight was none of her business and her uncle tried to portray her as model student when she was getting into trouble at school. When the jury found out she had ODD they seemed to be sympathetic towards her in her sentencing.

I do not believe that the defendant is easily persuaded by her friends. From her testimony it seemed that if anything, she was the bad influence. She knew what she was doing and that it was wrong.

Question #1: I feel that his girl was easily influenced by her friends since she repeatedly said she wanted to fit in at first, so I felt that she made herself come off as a person who would do almost anything to “be cool” in her friends’ point of view. Finding out that she has O.D.D did in fact take a toll on the case because now instead of punishing her, we had to come up with a verdict to help her. It went from punishment to restorative. The good thing was that she was very honest, maybe a little too much but that’s better than lying.

1. Yes i do believe the defendant was easily influenced by her friends. Many kids in high school are pressured to be and do something they are not so that statement may make sense, under some circumstances. With that aside, i believe the defendant was guilty and used that as a sympathy option.

1. I do not believe that she was influenced by her friends, I felt that she was the one calling the shots and just dragged her friends along. After discovering she had O.D.D It changed the way the jury and the people in the court viewed her actions. She needed help controlling this and hopefully will soon overcome it.

Q1. The way the jury viewed the defendant after they found out she had O.D.D, they started to be more comprehensive with her. Regarding her friend, I believe that the defendant knew what she was doing because I think she wanted attention, and she was not getting attention at home, then she wanted attention from her friends.
